    Question Shell gas credit card application

    Hello everyone

    I have a question. I picked up the pamphlet with the Shell gas credit card (the normal card) and I am looking over the application and I don't see anything for any rewards or cashback or points on here. Am I missing something or does this card offer absolutely no benefits?

    But then I was reading the Shell Select Member card review and it says this card gives you cash back at hotels and on car rentals but I don't see anything about it giving you a gas rebate. What is the difference between these two cards? Why would someone get the Shell gas credit card over the Shell Select member card? And why would someone I suppose get either of the cards if they aren't gas rebate credit cards.

    Are these cards for bad credit because unless I'm missing something I don't see why someone would sign up for these. They are gas station credit cards and they don't even give a discount on gas! SO CRAZY!!!

    The Shell credit card I use to offer small rewards but only on Shell gas. But based on what you said it sounds like their issuer Citi might have cut the rewards as part of their budget rollbacks.
    Disclosure: I am a moderator/paid staff of this site, which does have advertising relationships with some credit cards that are discussed. Regardless, anything I say is my honest opinion.

    Current Cards:
    American Express: Blue Cash, Simply Cash Bank of America: WorldPoints Platinum Plus Chase: Amazon, British Airways, Cash Plus Rewards, Freedom, Ink Cash Citi: Thank You Premier, Dividend Platinum Select Discover: More
    Primary Everyday Card: American Express Blue Cash
    Primary Travel Card: Citi Thank You Premier
